We may have been shoveling snow this morning but we are dreaming about our spring garden! ☀️ 🌱

We have big plans this year including a rain water collection system, drip irrigation for the vegetable garden, and new perennial garden beds on our back playground.

Scooping watermelon with a melon baller isn’t just snack prep—it’s careful hand control, strength, coordination, and joyful independence at work. Intentional practical life + fine motor development, the Montessori way. 🍉

Tis the season - children have been busy this week making and mailing cards to loved ones to celebrate the upcoming winter solstice and winter holidays. ❄️ 🎄 🕎

While it looks different for each child, all children participate in crafting and recording their messages. This child used the moveable alphabet to write a message to her Mamie, then wrote it into her card by herself.

Have you ever seen this neat tool before? Students love using this boot jack to remove their wet boots (hands free!). Bonus: it supports motor planning and balance.

This is just one example of how a Montessori classroom equips the environment with materials children can use to increase their independence and success with every day tasks. 🥾 ✅
